What Was The Study About?

It is true that researchers at Exeter University did a study but it was not about smelling farts. Most likely, the stories taken in the context wherein one of the researchers mentioned hydrogen sulfide has a pungent smell similar to a rotten egg and flatulence or farts.

The findings of the study were published in the Medicinal Chemistry Communications1 and the Nitric Oxide Journal2.

It was not researchers’ goal to find out the health benefits of smelling farts. Instead, it was about hydrogen sulfide and the molecule AP39.

Although hydrogen sulfide is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it is naturally produced in the body and could, in fact, be a healthcare hero with significant implications for future therapies for a variety of diseases. -Dr. Mark Wood, University of Exeter Biosciences

Hence, if you have been subjecting your partner to a pungent smell of farts, you owe an apology. On the other hand, the smell of your farts can tell something about your health.
